Hi all

I have a 2-column table containing 16 row items, each with an 
associated checkbox.  Right now I'm iterating over a List to render 
each row of the table.  Column 1 contains the checkboxes; column 2 
contains the items.

So my table currently looks like this (x == a checkbox):

    x item-1
    x item-2
    . . .
    x item-16
Is there a straightforward way to iterate my List so as to render my 
table as two columns (four columns really) of 8 rows each?   Like this:

    x item-1    x item-9
    x item-2    x item-10
    . . .       . . .
    x item-8    x item-16
Thanks!

<logic:iterate: name="myBean" property="listProperty" index="id">
<tr><td>
   <html:checkbox name="..." value="<%=whateverValue%>"/>
</td><td>
   <html:checkbox name="..." value ="<%=whateverValue+8%>" />
</td></tr>
</logic:iterate>
<table>

By the way, what is the submitted value of the cb? Is it the index or 
some other kind of id?
